Please correct me if I'm wrong:
isn't crypto_check_alg invoked also during hashing algorithm registration?
In this patch-set I'm dealing only with ciphers, because the maximum
block size (16)
is relatively small and it's also the most common block size with
ciphers (maybe I should
have explicitly referenced ciphers in the macro names, my bad).
I don't think that it would be OK to use a similar approach for hashes
too, because some
of them have block size >= 1024 bytes.
Thank you for your time,
Salvatore
